Summary: Facet filter: check whether name type "latin" should be renamed or excluded
Description: A name type "latin" appears a bit strange in the name type facet filter, especially if it stands next to "wellformed" with many more records (see screenshot). Any scientific name should be in Latin, so it is not quite clear what the filter is expected to do, and what the count refers to.

We have the following labels for the available name types:
enum.nametype.SCINAME=latin
enum.nametype.WELLFORMED=wellformed
enum.nametype.DOUBTFUL=doubtful
enum.nametype.BLACKLISTED=blacklisted
enum.nametype.VIRUS=virus
enum.nametype.HYBRID=hybrid formula
enum.nametype.INFORMAL=informal
enum.nametype.CULTIVAR=cultivar
enum.nametype.CANDIDATUS=candidatus
Any suggestion for enum.nametype.SCINAME that can be used instead of 'latin'?

Based on the documentation, I would propose to surface the first two rather as
enum.nametype.SCINAME=latin, not wellformed
enum.nametype.WELLFORMED=scientific name
If the first is too long, maybe just
enum.nametype.SCINAME= not wellformed
